Battle of Ban Me Thuot

The Battle of Ban Me Thuot was a battle of the Vietnam War which occurred from 3 to 18 March 1975.

In March 1975, the NVA launched its 1975 Spring Offensive against South Vietnam, and one of its pincers invaded through the Central Highlands. Within ten days, the NVA had destroyed the ARVN II Corps, which they had outnumbered six to one. The capture of Ban Me Thuot without any US intervention on the South Vietnamese side encouraged the North Vietnamese and their Viet Cong allies to step up their offensive against South Vietnam, overwhelming the entire country in a month.
